Abstract: Abstract Riparian systems are threatened globally, but contribute disproportionately to biodiversity and ecosystem function. Restoration to reverse their loss is costly, and requires careful monitoring and evaluation. Odonates are amongst the most reliable arthropod bio-indicators… read more here.
